Starr Hagenbring

HANDPAINTED, EMBROIDERED, APPLIQUÉ
New Orleans, LA

Starr Hagenbring is the rockstar of the wearable art world, and she makes no bones about it. Informed by travel around the globe, and life in several different states, Starr brings together an impeccable sense of design with a wild aesthetic that waits for no one. From beetles and skulls to classical paintings and environmental messages, she embraces a melange of iconography that is highlighted by bold patterns, often from vintage fabrics, that she either uses as a contrast, or paints and embroiders on top of to form layer after layer of vibrant decoration. Her most recent work is intensely political as she seeks to draw attention to the many real problems plaguing our world.
